OLD FASHIONED MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE CASSEROLE
These yummy meatballs are made with a mixture of beef and Italian sausage. They are placed in a baking dish, smothered in tomato sauce, topped with grated Romano cheese and baked in a hot oven. This saves the step of browning them on top of the stove and the sauce is wonderfully seasoned with the meatball juices and Romano cheese.
